I was born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, until the age of 14. In 1987, my family moved to Omaha, NE. I attended Creighton Prep High School followed by Creighton University and received my Bachelors' of Science Degree in Biology. After that, I attended Creighton University School of Dentistry and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery.

After graduating in 2000, I moved to Phoenix, AZ to start practicing dentistry and in the spring of 2002 I made my move to beautiful Jacksonville, FL. I have taken numerous continuing education programs in cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, sleep disordered breathing and occlusion (bite) to name a few.

My treatment philosophy is to provide personalized dental care in a slow paced, relaxed environment. Generally only one patient is treated at a time so that I can provide my patients with my undivided attention. Modern, quality oriented dentistry takes time and a meticulous approach. Using the best in dental technology, materials and labs provides patients state of the art, clinically proven, dental results. I hope that my practice's quality and service will attract patients that appreciate and share my philosophy.

Outside of the dental arena, I enjoy playing tennis, waterskiing and flying. I hold an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate and have worked as a charter pilot flying a Citation XL jet.
